C++ Programming language
 C++ is a statically typed, compiled, general-purpose,
case-sensitive, free-form programming language that
supports procedural, object-oriented, and generic
programming.
 C++ is regarded as a middle-level language, as it
comprises a combination of both high-level and low-
level language features.
 C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979
at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey.
C++ Programming language
 It`s enhancement to the C language and originally named
C with Classes but later it was renamed C++ in 1983.

 A programming language is said to use static typing


when type checking is performed during compile-time as
opposed to run-time.
Object-Oriented Programming
 C++ fully supports object-oriented programming,
including the four pillars of object-oriented development:
 Encapsulation
 Data hiding
 Inheritance
 Polymorphism
Standard Libraries
 Standard C++ consists of three important parts:
 The core language giving all the building blocks
including variables, data types and literals, etc.

 The C++ Standard Library giving a rich set of functions


manipulating files, strings, etc.

 The Standard Template Library (STL) giving a rich set


of methods manipulating data structures, etc.
The ANSI Standard
 The ANSI standard is an attempt to ensure that C++ is
portable; that code you write for Microsoft's compiler
will compile without errors, using a compiler on a Mac,
UNIX, a Windows box.
C++ Compiler
 This is an actual C++ compiler, which will be used to
compile your source code into final executable program.

 Source code extension is .cpp by default.

 Most frequently used and free available compiler is GNU


C/C++ compiler.
Basic Syntax
 C++ program, it can be defined as a collection of objects
that communicate via invoking each other's methods.

 Object - Objects have states and behaviors. Example: A


dog has states - color, name, breed as well as behaviors -
wagging, barking, and eating. An object is an instance of
a class.

 Class - A class can be defined as a template/blueprint


that describes the behaviors/states that object of its type
support.
Basic Syntax
 Methods - A method is basically a behavior. A class can
contain many methods. It is in methods where the logics
are written, data is manipulated and all the actions are
executed.

 Instant Variables - Each object has its unique set of


instant variables. An object's state is created by the
values assigned to these instant variables.
C++ Arrays
 C++ provides an array data structure, which stores a fixed-size
sequential collection of elements of the same type.
 It is often more useful to think of an array as a collection of
variables of the same type.

 Instead of declaring individual variables, such as number0,..., and


number99, you declare one array variable such as numbers and
use numbers[0], ..., numbers[99] to represent individual variables.

 Element in an array is accessed by an index.

 All arrays consist of contiguous memory locations. The lowest


address corresponds to the first element and the highest address
to the last element.
Declaring Arrays
 To declare an array in C++, the programmer specifies the
type of the elements array name , arrayNmae and the
number of elements required by an array.

 The array-Size must be an integer constant greater than


zero and type can be any valid C++ data type.
Initializing Arrays
 You can initialize C++ array elements either one by one or using a
single statement.
 The number of values between braces { } cannot be larger than
the number of elements that we declare for the array between
square brackets [ ].
 If you omit the size of the array, an array just big enough to hold
the initialization is created.
Declaring Arrays
 To declare an array in C++, the programmer specifies the
type of the elements array name , array and the number
of elements required by an array as follows
Put Technology in Action
 Technology on the world stage.
